Electric Car Charger Installation in Burnley

Electric car charger installation in Burnley for homes and small businesses. We check the supply, fit the unit on a dedicated circuit, test it and hand over a certificate. Most jobs are done in half a day.

The Supply Check Comes First

Before anything goes on the wall we look at the incoming supply, the main fuse rating and the earthing arrangement. A charger pulls a steady 32 amps for hours, so the supply has to take that alongside a shower and an oven. This check is why some quotes change after a visit.

More Information

Tethered or Untethered Units

A tethered charger has the cable permanently attached, which is quicker to use day to day. An untethered unit is a socket, so you use your own cable and it suits any car. Tethered is tidier if you keep the same car, untethered is more flexible if you change often.

Testing and Handover

Once the unit is up we test the circuit, check the protective device operates and run the charger through a full start. Then we show you the app, how to start and stop a charge, and what the lights on the unit mean. The certificate covers the new circuit.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does electric car charger installation take?

Around three to four hours for a typical house. That covers the supply check, mounting the unit, running a new circuit from the consumer unit and testing. Long cable runs, solid walls or a board with no spare way will add time. We flag any of that before booking.

Can any electrician fit an electric car charger?

It needs an electrician qualified for the work who can register it, because the circuit is notifiable and the earthing arrangement for chargers has its own requirements. We are approved electricians and handle the notification. You get a certificate for the new circuit.

Will fitting a charger overload my electrics?

Not if the supply has been checked first. Most homes have a 60 to 100 amp main fuse, which takes a 32 amp charger alongside normal use. Where it is tight, load management turns the charger down while the shower or oven is on. We work this out on the visit.
